We celebrate our 50th episode with 2012’s Killing Them Softly, starring Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Ray Liotta, Scoot McNairy, Richard Jenkins, and Ben Mendelsohn.  We talk about the movie as an allegory for the 2008 financial crisis, the crimes of desperate people, how much or how little a life is worth, this movie as a condemnation of the mafia movie, and the difference between a cliffhanger and an ending.
